Well I'll run some test shots off and check for any other problems. Close up shots at 300 are excellent, but more distant shots are not as sharp as I'd expect and a bit flarey/washed out especially with a lot of light to deal with. . . . perhaps I'm expecting too much.

If close distance is good, did you consider athmospheric conditions might influence longer distance shots? the air in places like bangkok sure is nothing to write home about.

I tried to shoot some old temple spires of Ayutthaya from a hotel on the outskirts with my 55-250IS - through some not so great morning smog. Looks really rather murky, worse than I remember.

I like the Lensrental article on scratched front elements. . . . thanks

just to give an idea how such things impact the image. Still, one would expect some contrast loss in counterlight situations with your mold. try to get it cleaned and at least try to keep it very dry, otherwise it will spread - that's the biggest issue.

Yes of course the atmosphere does indeed affect the distance shots, right now looking out over the mountain range nearby there is a lot of haze there, but that's not what I am referring to, its mainly in the counterlight situations where I am noticing some flaring.  Thanks for your rely mate
